After wrote about 2 types of basic listening, I want to share few way of how to become Active Listener;

1. Spend more time listening than talking.
2. Do not finish the sentences of others.
3. Do not answer questions with questions.
4. Are aware of biases. We all have them. We need to control them.
5. Never daydreams or become preoccupied with their own thoughts when others talk.
6. Let the other speakers talk. Do not dominate the conversations.
7. Plan responses after the others have finished speaking, NOT while they are speaking.
8. Provide feedback, but do not interrupt incessantly.
9. Analyze by looking at all the relevant factors and asking open-ended questions. Walk others through by summarizing.
10. Keep conversations on what others say, NOT on what interests them.
11. Take brief notes. This forces them to concentrate on what is being said.

Being Active listener is Hard, but it’s not imposible, anyone can do it!
